ROCKLAND, Mass. (AP)—Lifelong Red Sox fans can now take their love of the
team to the next level—eternity.

A Massachusetts funeral home recently took delivery of the first Red Sox
casket, which features the team logo on the exterior as well as the inside.

The casket is manufactured by Eternal Image of Michigan, which has a
licensing agreement with Major League Baseball.

Bob Biggins, co-director of Magoun-Biggins Funeral Home in Rockland, tells
The Boston Globe families in mourning often want their loved ones buried with
favorite items. In the past that’s included Red Sox paraphernalia; the casket
takes it to the next step.

Biggins says the family that chose the $3,000 Red Sox casket bearing serial
number 0001 did not hesitate in picking it for their father.
